Linear Equations and Problem Solving

Mrs. Apia's lesson 9 focuses on applying linear equations to solve real-world problems. Students learn to write and solve multi-step equations through exercises involving arcade games, book pages, and numerical sums. The lesson emphasizes understanding constants, variables, and coefficients, and concludes with a summary of key concepts.
